'House of Shokoti' is a funny thing- Shokoti's name-checked in the first episode and doesn't even appear. It's not only one of the biggest drum-rolls for a character, the tension build-up is done brilliantly and reminiscent of a horror movie, IMO. When she finally appears, I'm never disappointed- she's just as demonic and terrifying as we'd been led to expect. Linda Gary's excellent voice-acting makes Shokoti an even more formidable presence and Larry DiTillio's writing puts her ahead of most other one-shot characters for me.

I can imagine them doing great things with Shokoti. She's a demon from the past and I think she'd make a great addition to the line, perhaps even with some sort of connection with King Hiss- she has an element of 'snake' about her.

That's how most people felt about Count Marzo until they updated him and added him into the MYP series. Now look at Count Marzo's popularity.

That's an excellent point. Same goes for Evilseed, (I actually like the Filmation version better *shrugs*). Shokoti already has a pretty large cult following, but if she'd been updated for the MYP series she'd be a fan favorite.

I kind of agree with you about Evilseed; maybe just cause it's one of my favorite episodes.

Definitely. That's why they really need to get these Filmation rights man. Not only would we get a few awesome Filmation MOTU things, but POP would EXTREMELY benefit from it. Some of their heavy hitters are Filmation-based and there are a lot of other lesser knowns that would make AWESOME MOTUC figures.

Count Marzo is the perfect example of this. Count Marzo didn't even have a cult following at all. A lot of people didn't even think he was a MOTU character and asked me about it back then. Only a handful remembered him at all and he appeared in 3 episodes. At least Shokoti is more popular with fans than Count Marzo was before the 2002/MYP series and she was in the only 2 parter by Larry D. nonetheless that most people seem to remember as a favorite episode.

Everytime I talk about this stuff, I feel greatful that they chose Count Marzo of all characters from Filmation. Evil Seed is no slouch either and he only appeared in 1 episode. Wonder how they decided to choose Evil Seed.

Yeah, you got lucky on that one. Count Marzo benefited more than anyone by being updated by MYP. One question though- why doesn't his figure come with a black flower?

She would have been my first or second choice for a 200X revamp. This is what I would've love her to look like. Classic look but slightly updated.

The 200x treatment definitely would have been outstanding for Shokoti. Classics treatment lacking hyper-detail probably will not be as visually dynamic, but I bet the 4H could still do a knockout job with her.

If Mattel ever get the FILMation rights I believe Shokoti is as likely as Shadow Weaver to be produced because this is another character who could be displayed both with modern and Preternian figures (IMO).

It saddens me that greedy sandslug Kothos and the beauteous Lady Valtira do not get the same love as Shokoti...
